News North offer for Maynard

[buttox]

Can't be true.
We don't recruit Defenders who can defend.

 

[itchyscratch]

He’s Collingwood, I can’t stand him and he’s a thug. But I could absolutely learn to love him if he was our North Melbourne thug!

 

[kool kangas]

All teams have at least 1 thug so why cant we...

 

[Mr north man]

IMO he could very well retire this year, just depends on if the ones gunning for his spot can actually get up and supplant him. Poor Goater, man.

Let’s look at the Tale of the Tape
1:McDonald will play AFL this year and next.
2:Hardenham should be playing AFL but won’t be could be back in WA next year.
3:Fisher on big $$$$ and long contract can’t be played back maybe a bench player
4:Goater so unlucky with injuries hope tide turns for him in 2 half of 2025 as once his back will play VFL until his AFL fit.
5:Bergman will need to play at least 10 AFL games this year to retain his spot.
Now with Maynard he is a good player but to payout big $$$$ to get him and give Collingwood a leg up in the draft as their will get 1st round composition for him is very risky and take him will force out Hardenham,Goater and Bergman from our club.
As for the Diamond in the rough McDonald the only way he plays VFL will be if he gets injured and can’t get back in or made captain of the VFL team in 2027 with a BS off field role to keep him at the club that the only way it happens .
Mind you if he does like McMillan,Atley and others have done he will walk out once he retires and probably play local footy as it maybe embarrassing for him to play VFL.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Fair point. We haven't drafted many defenders. But even the Hawks got a bunch of players from other clubs in their defensive group and same with the Pies in their premiership team.

And the premiership teams of Melbourne and Hawthorn and actually when was the last good side that only had its own drafted and developed defenders? West Coast 2018?

 

[justroyal]

Do we know someone who asked us to bump up Maynard’s price similar to Viney?
Oh wait isn’t his brother working at the club

 

[Shermanator]

He’s coming.

Lock it in Eddie.

 

[HTPunter]

WHE plays back there and he's awful

He’s a wing, not a backman at all & he’s very serviceable - if he was at North he would have multiple top 10 B&F’s and you’d sing his praises

 

[HTPunter]

He’s coming.

Lock it in Eddie.

That’s great but do we need 5-6 years?

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Wouldn’t get a game. **** off

 

[The Nostradamus]

Smart guy jumps off the dads army pies into the young rampant Roos

And gets paid more for it

 

[Rooscals]

He’s coming.

Lock it in Eddie.

What makes you so sure ?

 

[tales129]

Clark is a Collingwood nuff. Needs to make it look absolutely ridiculous so that the pies don’t look like they’ve ****ed up and paid a mozza for others and are losing Maynard

 

[barnrokn]

Don’t need him

 

[Shermanator]

What makes you so sure ?

 

[Sphynx]

TBH I’d love to get a bit of revenge.

I think I’d rather put the same offer to Zach Merrett in all honesty.

Virtually the same age.

Lol ones an unrestricted free agent

The other is contracted for several years and would cost huge trade capital

Brayden Maynard at the start of the week:



Brayden Maynard tonight:

The most recent Brisbane Lions GF team perhaps? Pretty rare though.
But they could've had Ah Chee playing down back (from GC Suns wasn't he?) or Doedee if not injured.

 

[Its a Process]

Lots of players have successfully used us as leverage over last couple of years. This stinks of the same scenario.

I forgot them - is that bad?

I know it's petty but it's Hardeman, not Hardenham.

It really pisses me off when broadcasters can't get the names of our players right, as often happens with Comben. I think it shows a lack of respect for the club.

Maynard is a better player than all of those you have listed, has leadership qualities, and has played in a premiership. If the Pies get a draft pick, so be it. We need to focus on making our list as good as we can. If Maynard is open to leaving it is likely the Pies will get that draft pick anywhere.

McDonald has no guarantee of playing AFL. If his form is not good enough, he plays VFL. Having said that, in my opinion he has played very well in both games this year.

Hardeman has looked promising at VFL level but isn't kicking the door down to be promoted yet.

Bergman likely needs a miracle to be on the list next year.

Don't know why you'd waste any effort responding.

Hope it happens.

Dude is a terrific player & competitor.

Lmac wud be on $600k and who knows how much longer he’ll be around? , so it’s a big upgrade for a net $400k … bargain.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

JC on Fox Footy just broke the news.

Over to you giantroo

Hoping the reported amount and duration is wrong.

Those amounts smack of an agent spreading rumours to up negotiations.
